Electrons appear as products in oxidations.

Use Oxidation Numbers
![Page 10: Chapter 15. Oxidation-Reduction Reactions. Oxidation-Reduction Reactions Oxidation was originally understood as reaction of a substance with oxygen. Combustion:](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649dac5503460f94a9c263/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Determining Oxidation Numbers
An oxidation number (or oxidation state) is the charge that an atom appears to have when the electrons in each bond in which it is participating are assigned to the more electronegative of the two atoms participating in the bond.
![Page 11: Chapter 15. Oxidation-Reduction Reactions. Oxidation-Reduction Reactions Oxidation was originally understood as reaction of a substance with oxygen. Combustion:](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649dac5503460f94a9c263/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Determining Oxidation Numbers
Draw Lewis Structure of molecule or ion.
Use Electronegativities (p 281, Fig 7.12) to determine which atom "owns" electrons.
Lone pairs belong to the atom.
If two atoms of the same element are bonded together, 1 electron to each.
ONAtom = VEAtom - TEAtom
![Page 12: Chapter 15. Oxidation-Reduction Reactions. Oxidation-Reduction Reactions Oxidation was originally understood as reaction of a substance with oxygen. Combustion:](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649dac5503460f94a9c263/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Determining Oxidation Numbers
The oxidation number of a main-group element can be anything from Column # (loses all e1) to (Column # 8) (fills valence shell).
The sum of all oxidation numbers in a species must equal its charge.
The oxidation number of an atom in its elemental form is zero.
If a Lewis structure is complex, just work with the atom of interest and the atoms bonded to it.

An Energy Scale for Redox RXN’s
Strongest oxidizing agents have highest standard reduction potentials (E0's, in volts). Strong oxidizing agents have low-energy vacant orbitals.
Strongest reducing agents have lowest (often negative) standard reduction potentials. Strong reducing agents have electrons in high-energy orbitals.

Predicting Reactions
Balancing equations for Redox Reactions
Use Table of Standard Reduction Potentials:
Find half-reaction for reduction, write it as given.
Find half-reaction for oxidation, write it as reverse of what is given
(electrons are products).

Predicting Reactions
Balance half-reactions so number of electrons is equal for each.
Add half-reactions, cancelling out electrons and any other species that appear on both sides of equation.

Predicting Reactions
Will the Reaction be Spontaneous?
Calculate E0 for RXN: E0 reduction
- E0 oxidation
E0 RXN
If E0 RXN is positive, the reaction is exo- thermic and will proceed spontaneously.
If E0 RXN is negative, the reaction is endo-thermic and will not proceed spontaneously.

Batteries
Batteries are galvanic (a.k.a. voltaic) electro-chemical cells in which a spontaneous reac-tion is used to convert chemical energy to electrical energy.
The earliest batteries common galvanic cells were Daniell Cells, from 1836.
![Page 34: Chapter 15. Oxidation-Reduction Reactions. Oxidation-Reduction Reactions Oxidation was originally understood as reaction of a substance with oxygen. Combustion:](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649dac5503460f94a9c263/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Batteries
Batteries usually contain an electrolyte, which is a solution that contains ions. Electric cur-rent can flow through the electrolyte.
The anode in a battery is the half-cell with the lower (more negative) E0. Oxidation occurs at the anode. Anions flow toward the anode.
The cathode in a battery is the half-cell with higher (more positive) E0. Reduction occurs at the cathode. Cations flow toward the cathode.
